Cincinnati police have arrested a woman after she attempted to hide her boyfriend's body at the Crosslands Motel.

Kathryn Carmen, 34, was charged with abuse of a corpse after officers were dispatched to her room for a well-being check. Police said they discovered a foul odor from her room, associated with decomposition.

A motel employee told police he suspected there was a body after touching the pile of clothes with his foot, officials said.

Carmen said her boyfriend, Jacob Tackett, overdosed after they both passed out on the bed. She later woke up to find him not breathing and he appeared to be dead.

Carmen told officers everything was OK, but later admitted to covering up the body over the course of four days.

Carmen said she continued to stay in the room on and off for four days, not telling anyone about the death or location of the body.
